Comments

Thanks for the update, and the confirmation that you’re at least working on the wp.com-comments.

BUT… And I’m sorry if I’m being harsh here… I can’t help but think that it’s a bit arrogant towards your users and fans to release a whole different feature like this, when most users have been asking for the comment function for months and months. It’s like not listening to your users at all. I’m sure there’s a good reason for not releasing it yet, but after this much time it feels as you’re not working on it.

So please release the wp.com-comments as your next feature. For 1.4 or so.

one suggestion I’d have, if this isn’t in the work already, is to make a premium version of this that costs money. Give more customizations and options and features for a fee every year or whatever. You could make it free, I’m just saying its something I would pay for. I look forward to more new updates though 🙂

Contact forms are jacked up. I have two email addresses to use and the form constructs its code to use one as an email address and the other as the subject line. Let me know if I can help test any sort of fix.

ugh here’s a feature request I just found about that should be fixed. Get rid of the affiliate link blocking on the newsletter function. I’m running jetpack through my own site, this shouldn’t be blocked as some of the content on my site has affiliate links. I dont want to have to setup every link as a redirect to avoid this either

I love this new feature but am having problems. My website has a black background, and while the contact form adjusts for that, it’s not adjusting the text on the submit button. I can’t even read the text. I think it’s yellow on white. Is there a place I can adjust that.

First of all, I apologize for my poor english! And then I congratulate you for your work!

I’ve seen that 6 months ago you announced that Jetpack will include the new photo carousel. I’d like to know if you still want to include it and -approximately- when (I don’t like the other “similar” plugins…).

Bummer.
I noticed another blogs excellent gallery and started investigating. Figured out it was jetPack carousel.
Then figured out it is unavailable to me since I’m building a self hosted site. Gah.
Carousel is exactly what I want.
I’ve looked at several other WP galleries and they are just not good enough 😦

I just wanted to “+1” the launch of Carousel to Jetpack. I love all the JetPack features after being a wordpress.com user first before starting my own self-hosting; heck I would be willing to hit the donate button for the great features of Jetpack.

I have tried several plug-ins but nothing to the quality I have found as the WP.com Carousel, if anyone knows of a decent one please let me know?

I think what you are doing with Jetpack is right on the money. The only thing missing from Forms, from my point of view, is a parameter which when set allows the form to open in a modal window. Often times you don’t want to take the user away from the page their on to another to fill out a form, and a modal window can often fulfill that need.

Is it possible to customize the contact form submit button? I don\’t think custom css is available for a non-wordpress.com blog is it? I\’d like to use my own button design, rather than the plain jane submit button. Is this possible? I can\’t seem to find the css responsible for the submit button in the contact form in jetpack.

Yes, you’d just use CSS the same as you would to style anything else on a page. We now include a Custom CSS module in Jetpack, so you could use that if you like. The class applied to buttons is “.pushbutton-wide”.

Oops… I seem to have spoken too soon… I can’t seem to replace the standard button with just my css… I tried it it doesn’t seem to work… would I just add my css to the CUSTOM CSS plugin editor? Is there anything else I need to edit?

When you are on the “Add a custom form” screen, building a contact form, there should be an “Email Notifications” tab at the top of the window. In this tab you can change where the contact form sends the email notifications.

If you are still having trouble, please send a more detailed explanation of what is happening to support@jetpack.me and we’ll help get things sorted.
